Garage Sale

My mother loves garage sales. She can't go because at this point she is having lots of trouble walking, which surgery will correct but that will be another post. Back to the garage sale. We had one last week, three days of it, Thur, Fri, & Sat. Wish I had remembered to take pics. We had junk for days and we sold junk for days. I was determined NONE of it was coming back home with me so while reading the evening paper I noticed an ad that read, Will pick up unsold yard sale items for FREE. There was the magic word FREE. I called and he was there within 15 minutes. We loaded him up. I finally got rid of a wedding gown that had seen two divorces. It was mine the first time I was married and then my best friend from high school, well her daughter wore it also. I was glad to see that go. Hope the next person has better luck. Just to set the record straight, my husband now is WONDERFUL. We have been married almost 14 years. Ok, enough of that we were talking about garage sales. Thur was good, it rained some on Fri, and Rained ALOT on Sat but that didn't seem to slow the yard sale warriors down. I got plenty of exercise running around trying to get things covered up, then running around again uncovering them. We had a good time, my mother's baby sister was there too so it was lots of laughs. Mother wants to have another one in the fall. Maybe after a few months recovery I will consider doing it again :)
